“Was this a betrayal, or was it an act of courage? Perhaps both. Neither one involves forethought: such things take place in an instant, in an eyeblink.

“Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.”

“You can't help what you feel, but you can help how you behave”
